Description
We can all learn a lot from this tree near my Dad's house in Elkin, N.C. Many have passed by it (just like we do some people) without noticing (or caring) that it even has a heart. But it does. Maybe we should slow down and pay more attention to our surroundings and the folks in it. Sometimes to find a heart you have to change your gaze away from the normal. It may be even lower than the chest. In this case I had to look at the roots, of the tree and of my life, back to where I was raised and to my own father to find this one. I think my own heart just grew thinking about it. You know, the more I look at this tree the more lessons and memories come to mind. Thanks tree. And thanks Dad.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
